Jul 11 2007 by Peter Guy, Liverpool Daily Post

LSH’s preparations for the return to North One rugby got off to an overwhelm-ing start with nearly one hundred players turning up to the first practice session in July.

The club is fully backing the Go Rugby national initiative and now with four senior sides and two colts teams as well as minis at all age groups – all are welcome at Moss Lane.

Director of rugby Paul Woodward has announced that Phil Kearns is to captain the side for a second season.

The 28-year-old number eight played a pivotal role in last year’s promotion-winning side and is rewarded once again.

“Phil did an excellent job last year as a leader, as a motivator and as a play-er and I fully expect his performance to improve for that experience.” said Woodward.

The club continue to strengthen the squad for the coming season and have signed Ashley Worsfold and Mark Dickinson both backs formerly with North Two West outfit Tyldesley.

LSH also expect to formally confirm the signing of Brian Makhaza in the next few days. South African Makhaza was one of the few succ-esses at Orrell last year and is equally at home as a fly-half or full-back.
